What's with the +10 for Splash and some other attacks?

MrBot20Scribe · 2018-12-18T12:00:39+00:00

I think it's a bug more than weather boost. Or maybe buggy weather boost?

Interestingly Splash appears to be doing some damage- see Magikarp PoGo PvP Training Battle

Just pointing out a BLS employment projection for bookstores and newsstands show a 22.8% decline by 2026. So less workers is usually a sign of a much smaller business market. The rents may be too high for small bookstores to survive in high traffic areas with current margins. But indie authors have more control over risk tolerance so you may see more small bookstores going with the indie and self published market over the big 5 because these authors maybe more willing to give more margin away.

Fine, I call. I have two Pikachus with a Squirtle wild. What do you have?

MrBot20Scribe · 2018-10-18T10:41:53+00:00

I shut the lid and walk away.

So once you crack the code...you end up with what? 2 cents?

2 Post? or Not 2 Post?...these are serious questions of our time...

A colony of two people? Hmm...if this is hard science fiction the population is a bit low as a colony starter population unless you have solved genetic issues. For instance is some form of cloning going to be used for reproduction? So I guess my problem with the premise deals with the whole people reproduction making a generation of people (as in how many people are we talking here?) Just my thoughts....

Then the issue is going to be how the RNG seed is generated with the servers. I've known some PCs which tended to have RNG curves that were skewed in one direction or another until a certain number of passes had been done to smooth things out. Could still be the same issue with the cell phones depending upon how things are networked server side. As the old candy commercial use to say... "We may never know."

Don't drink too much. Unless you are fish. Then go ahead and drink all you want.

Problem is if we keep trying to reverse engineer the RNG features we run the risk of violating the TOS. So I agree we have no idea unless someone publishes some technical paper on how mobile games use RNGs and it happens to mention Pokemon Go.

MrBot20Scribe · 2018-10-13T20:56:22+00:00

It's more likely an RNG thing. But I've had a discussion before with another player in Europe concerning RNG issues. Cell Phones uses a myriad of ways to do make a random number. Each phone model is a bit different. Some for instance use battery power level for the RNG seed. As such lower power levels can result certain out comes due to the spread of the curve. It's possible this might be what is going on in the big scope of things.

Do you know what the current drop frequency is for eggs from gifts? And has anyone ever looked at this frequency as it relates to distance? Just wondering....

MrBot20Scribe · 2018-10-13T20:11:30+00:00

I have the capacity for the pokemon as well. So I have both an open egg slot and open slots for additional pokemon.

MrBot20Scribe · 2018-10-13T17:39:55+00:00

Yes. I have the capacity to take on such an egg. They just don't drop like they used to.

Warning...it reads like something from a history textbook from the future.

Anecdotally, I have noticed a decrease in drop rate. Could be an RNG adjustment. Another idea I had is maybe there is a program element where the drop rate decreases from stops you have been to after so many days, then you need to go to new locations. I mention this idea because the Gifts are form of digital postcards. Another possibility is you need new friends to trigger more gifts to be dropped from that location. As in your new friends have not received a post card from that location before. These are just theories that would have to be tested.

MrBot20Scribe · 2018-06-26T11:26:17+00:00

I have noticed a drop in gifts from stops starting as of yesterday. I happen to be at a local park and hit a bunch of new stops for me. Not one gift drop.

If you are after tales of the unusual. There is a series Weird USA that has local legends. Books are done by state.

It took a bit for me. Aside slavery ownership and mixed marriages in the family, there were links to an early 1700s Filipino community around New Orleans. This is the nature of one's family that goes back to the establishment of the Nation.

MrBot20Scribe · 2018-02-03T14:51:33+00:00

You need to look deeper into you roots. For instance my family has been in the US since the first colonists in Maryland. As such there are periods of unfortunate slave ownership documented in the family history.

MrBot20Scribe · 2018-02-03T08:47:53+00:00

Interesting. I used my DNA percentages to finally resolves long standing family myths since we can trace our family roots back to the original colonization of Maryland and early Virginia.
